Multiply whole answers: exercises 1 to 10
Exercise 1 – Two digits by one digit
\(7\times6=42\): write 2, carry 4. \(4\times6=24\), plus 4 is 28.
Answer: 282
Exercise 2 – Three digits by one digit
\(8\times7=56\): write 6, carry 5. \(5\times7=35\), plus 5 is 40: write 0, carry 4. \(3\times7=21\), plus 4 is 25.
Answer: 2,506
Exercise 3 – Multiply by a multiple of ten
\(63\times4=252\). Then multiply by 10: 2,520.
Answer: 2,520
Exercise 4 – Area model 34 times 26
\(30\times20=600\), \(4\times20=80\), \(30\times6=180\), \(4\times6=24\).
Add: \(600+80+180+24=884\).
Answer: 884
Exercise 5 – Two digits by two digits
\(78\times5=390\). \(78\times40=3{,}120\).
Add: \(390+3120=3510\).
Answer: 3,510
Exercise 6 – Estimate first
Estimate: 58 rounds to 60 and 31 rounds to 30. \(60\times30=1{,}800\).
Exact: \(58\times1=58\) and \(58\times30=1{,}740\). \(58+1740=1798\).
Answer: estimate 1,800, exact 1,798
Exercise 7 – Three digits by two digits
\(246\times5=1{,}230\). \(246\times30=7{,}380\).
Add: \(1230+7380=8610\).
Answer: 8,610
Exercise 8 – Zero in the middle
\(507\times8=4{,}056\). \(507\times20=10{,}140\).
Add: \(4056+10140=14196\).
Answer: 14,196
Exercise 9 – Larger factors
\(689\times7=4{,}823\). \(689\times40=27{,}560\).
Add: \(4823+27560=32383\).
Answer: 32,383
Exercise 10 – Zeros in a factor
\(25\times36=900\) (\(25\times6=150\) and \(25\times30=750\)). Then multiply by 10 because 250 is 25 tens.
\(900\times10=9{,}000\).
Answer: 9,000
Exercises 11 and up
Exercise 11 – Three digits by three digits
\(314\times5=1{,}570\). \(314\times10=3{,}140\). \(314\times200=62{,}800\).
Add: \(1570+3140+62800=67510\).
Answer: 67,510
Exercise 12 – Four digits by two digits
\(1{,}486\times2=2{,}972\). \(1{,}486\times30=44{,}580\).
Add: \(2972+44580=47552\).
Answer: 47,552
Exercise 13 – Draw an area model
\(50\times30=1{,}500\), \(2\times30=60\), \(50\times7=350\), \(2\times7=14\).
Add: \(1500+60+350+14=1924\).
Answer: 1,924
Exercise 14 – Jamal's mistake
The 2 in 23 means 2 tens. Jamal forgot the placeholder zero, so he multiplied by 2 instead of 20.
Correct: \(45\times20=900\). \(135+900=1035\).
Answer: 1,035
Exercise 15 – Orange crates
\(36\times48\): \(36\times8=288\) and \(36\times40=1{,}440\). \(288+1440=1728\).
There are 1,728 oranges.
Exercise 16 – Road trip miles
\(62\times4=248\) and \(62\times10=620\). \(248+620=868\).
The bus drives 868 miles.
Exercise 17 – Auditorium seats
\(35\times8=280\) and \(35\times20=700\). \(280+700=980\).
There are 980 seats.
Exercise 18 – Bake sale money
Cookies: \(15\times24=360\) (\(15\times4=60\), \(15\times20=300\)).

Total: \(3000+540=3540\).
Answer: 3,540 markers
Key facts behind this multiply whole answers
- A partial product comes from multiplying by one digit of the bottom number.
- Write a placeholder zero when you multiply by tens, hundreds and so on.
- Add all partial products to get the final product.
- Estimate by rounding each factor to its greatest place before you multiply.
- An area model splits each factor by place value and shows the same partial products.
How to use this multiply whole answers
